1 John 2
1 My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous.
Mine Børn! dette skriver jeg til eder, for at I ikke skulle synde. Og dersom nogen synder, have vi en Talsmand hos Faderen, Jesus Kristus, den retfærdige,
2 And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
og han er en Forsoning for vore Synder, dog ikke alene for vore, men ogsaa for hele Verdens.
3 This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments.
Og derpaa kende vi, at vi have kendt ham, om vi holde hans Bud.
4 One who says, "I know him," and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Den, som siger: „Jeg kender ham, ‟ og ikke holder hans Bud, han er en Løgner, og i ham er Sandheden ikke;
5 But whoever keeps his word, God's love has truly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him:
men den, som holder hans Ord, i ham er sandelig Guds Kærlighed fuldkommet. Derpaa kende vi, at vi ere i ham.
6 he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked.
Den, som siger, at han bliver i ham, han er ogsaa skyldig selv at vandre saaledes, som han vandrede.
7 Beloved, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard.
I elskede, jeg skriver til eder ikke et nyt Bud, men et gammelt Bud, som I have haft fra Begyndelsen. Det gamle Bud er det Ord, som I have hørt.
8 Again, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shines.
Og dog skriver jeg til eder et nyt Bud, hvilket er sandt i ham og i eder, thi Mørket drager bort, og det sande Lys skinner allerede.
9 He who says he is in the light and hates his brother, is in the darkness even until now.
Den, som siger, at han er i Lyset, og hader sin Broder, han er i Mørket endnu.
10 He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.
Den, som elsker sin Broder, bliver i Lyset, og der er ingen Forargelse i ham.
11 But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Men den, som hader sin Broder, er i Mørket og vandrer i Mørket, og han ved ikke, hvor han gaar hen, fordi Mørket har blindet hans Øjne.
12 I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
Jeg skriver til eder, mine Børn! fordi eders Synder ere eder forladte for hans Navns Skyld.
13 I am writing to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young people, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, little children, because you know the Father.
Jeg skriver til eder, I Fædre! fordi I kende ham, som er fra Begyndelsen. Jeg skriver til eder, I unge! fordi I have overvundet den onde. Jeg har skrevet til eder, mine Børn! fordi I kende Faderen.
14 I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young people, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.
Jeg har skrevet til eder, I Fædre! fordi I kende ham, som er fra Begyndelsen. Jeg har skrevet til eder, I unge! fordi I ere stærke, og Guds Ord bliver i eder, og I have overvundet den onde.
15 Do not love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love is not in him.
Elsker ikke Verden, ikke heller de Ting, som ere i Verden! Dersom nogen elsker Verden, er Faderens Kærlighed ikke i ham.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not the Father's, but is the world's.
Thi alt det, som er i Verden, Kødets Lyst og Øjnenes Lyst og Livets Hoffærdighed, er ikke af Faderen, men af Verden.
17 The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains forever. (aiōn g165)
Og Verden forgaar og dens Lyst; men den, som gør Guds Villie, bliver til evig Tid. (aiōn g165)
18 Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.
Mine Børn! det er den sidste Time, og som I have hørt, at Antikrist kommer, saaledes ere nu mange Antikrister fremtraadte; deraf kende vi, at det er den sidste Time.
19 They went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.
De ere udgaaede fra os, men de vare ikke af os; thi dersom de havde været af os, da vare de blevne hos os. Dog, det var, for at det skulde blive aabenbart, at de ikke alle ere af os.
20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
Og I have Salvelse fra den hellige og vide alt.
21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth.
Jeg har ikke skrevet til eder, fordi I ikke vide Sandheden; men fordi I vide den og vide, at ingen Løgn er af Sandheden.
22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.
Hvem er Løgneren uden den, som nægter, at Jesus er Kristus? Denne er Antikristen, som fornægter Faderen og Sønnen.
23 Whoever denies the Son, the same does not have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.
Hver den, som fornægter Sønnen, har ej heller Faderen; den, som bekender Sønnen, har ogsaa Faderen.
24 As for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.
Hvad I have hørt fra Begyndelsen, det blive i eder! Dersom det, som I have hørt fra Begyndelsen, bliver i eder, skulle ogsaa I blive i Sønnen og i Faderen.
Og dette er den Forjættelse, som han selv tilsagde os, det evige Liv. (aiōnios g166)
26 These things I have written to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
Dette har jeg skrevet til eder om dem, som forføre eder.
27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you do not need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you remain in him.
Og den Salvelse, som I fik af ham, bliver i eder, og I have ikke nødig, at nogen skal lære eder; men saaledes som hans Salvelse lærer eder alt, er det ogsaa sandt og er ikke Løgn, og som den har lært eder, skulle I blive i ham.
28 Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
Og nu mine Børn! bliver i ham, for at vi, naar han aabenbares, kunne have Frimodighed og ikke skulle blive til Skamme for ham ved hans Tilkommelse.
29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of him.
Dersom I vide, at han er retfærdig, da erkender, at hver den, som gør Retfærdighed, er født af ham.
